lapierre had with david gregory on "met the press" and that odd news conference they had where they said more guns would be the solution, a good guy with a gun was the best antidote to a bad guy with a gun. the president was pretty skeptical of that. this certainly is picking up over the next search days. the vice president joe biden in a series of meetings with members of the entertainment industry, the video game industry, as well as gun rights groups, including the nra. >> right. and gun advocates have called for gun appreciation day on january the 19th. that is two days before the inauguration and a day that the president himself has marked as a day of service to the nation. have we had any response to the white house about this gun appreciation day? >> reporter: yeah, we reached out to the white house and at this point they really have no comment on that idea of a gun appreciation day. obviously, it would fly in the face of what the white house is hoping to accomplish nationally that day with this national day of service to honor the life and legacy as the white house put it of

wayne lapierre of the nra will be going to the white house, sorry, to the senate judiciary committee this week. what do you think of the reaction of these lobbyists to a father whose child has been murdered? >> well, leaving aside the fact that the hecklers have no idea what they're talking about in the sense that the second amendment in no way restricts the outlawing of assault weapons, this has to be a new low in the debate. the idea that you would desecrate the memory of the victims of newtown and insult their families. this shows just i think how extreme and outrageous the nra and i assume the hecklers were nra moles, how they've become. you consider that in the context of the other absurd statements they have made about martin luther king and the civil rights movement going after the president's children. contrast that with what the president is doing which you mentioned in the setup piece, which is meeting with law enforcement, and if you take a look back at what happened in 1994, the principal strategy of those who wanted to pass the assault weapons ban was to get with law enf
